Open your windows if you want to keep your house cooler without the air on.
Can someone translate this into Celsius please?
G
-14F = -25.5C, 20 F = -6.7C, 62F = 16.7C, 70F = 21.1C Hope that helps.
Google it.
Ungodly below 0 versus a bit below 0.
16.6 -6.6 21.1 -25.5 in order of appearance
Sounds like you have either bad insulation in the walls or that your windows and doors aren't sealed properly. See if you can get an inspection done, and if that is the problem, talk to the landlord.
20 is milder?!? Where on earth did you move from???
Haha 20 is barely coat weather! (unless it's windy)!
Speak to your landlord about your issue. Heat pumps become inefficient below 40 degrees, and don't produce much heat. When this happens, electric heating coils take up the slack and drive up your electric bill. Gas heat (and even steam/hot water with an efficient boiler) is much more economical.
Moved to the Northwest? If that is the case, 20s is not the norm, at least not for the entire winter. Typically it's around the 40s during the day and maybe low 30s overnight. Which is why heatpumps work here, the milder weather. It's most likely leaking windows or poor insulation.
Heat pumps suck before 40f, you'd almost be better off turning on the oven lol

Hey OP here, I created the account so I could join in. I am trying to keep my apartment warm, since it is winter now.
